Abstract: A method of making a monolithically integrated pressure sensor includes making a cavity in the semiconductor substrate. This may be formed by plasma etching the front side or the back side of the silicon wafer to cut a plurality of trenches or holes deep enough to extend for at least part of its thickness into a doped buried layer of opposite type of conductivity of the substrate and of the epitaxial layer grown over it. The method may also include electrochemically etching through such trenches, and the silicon of the buried layer with an electrolytic solution suitable for selectively etching the doped silicon of the opposite type of conductivity, thereby making the silicon of the buried layer porous. The method may also include oxidizing and leaching away the silicon so made porous.

Abstract: A method of controlling the movements of a multi-actuator electro-mechanical system having a matrix of locally interconnected analog cells associated therewith is provided. Each cell represents a hardware implementation of a model of fuzzy inference rules. The model includes a fuzzy circuit architecture which may be implemented in an integrated circuit with VLSI CMOS technology that generates and controls a reaction diffusion mechanism typical of auto-waves using a fuzzy neural network. The fuzzy neural network defines the functional relationships that may duplicate simultaneous reaction diffusion equations. The duplication of the simultaneous reaction diffusion equations is provided using two sets of fuzzy rules processing, in a linguistic manner, the state variables of the cells. An oscillatory type dynamic is imposed on each cell where two dynamic processes having different kinetic characteristics coexist.

A fuzzy logic control unit is interposed between the comparator and the additional comparator, the fuzzy logic control unit receiving at its input the error signal output by the comparator and emitting in an output signal which depends on the variation of the error signal over time to be sent to the additional

Abstract: A chaotic signal generator includes a set of elements connected together for generating chaotic signals. The connection scheme may correspond to the circuit generally referred to as Chua's circuit, particularly when implemented as a cellular neural network. Interposed in the connection scheme is at least one switch, such as a MOS transistor. Opening and closing of the switch causes variation in the chaotic dynamics of the generated signals. A command signal applied to the switch may correspond to a modulating signal for transmission on a channel, such as a high noise channel. The modulating signal may be a binary signal, and the command signal may be a switching signal having a frequency that increases or decreases depending on the logic level of the binary signal.

Each fuzzy processor is adapted for connection to other processors of the same type such that a parallel architecture of the modular type can be implemented.
